Perform the following procedures first:

1. Remove the Rear cover.

2. Remove the Top cover asm..

3. Remove the Printhead.

4. Remove the Automatic forms thickness adjust (AFTA)

assembly.

5. Remove the Paper bail assembly.

Then:

Attention:

Use care not to damage the encoder strip.

1. Loosen the carriage belt clamp screws (3) and remove the

belt from the clamp.

Attention:

In the next step, look for small sheetmetal wear

surfaces may be present straddling the side frame where the
carriage shaft is resting; they are easily lost.

2. Remove the left carriage shaft screws and retainer.

3. Remove the carriage and shaft.
